A quick how to relocate your car battery into the trunk followed by some typical vlog nonsense! Check out where I was able to grab some metal for CHEAP! logansteel.com/...
Should fuse the battery terminal so if there is a short anywhere from the motor to the trunk that blows and doesn't turn into a 20ft glowing red hot wire of fire, especially being in a drift car where anything is possible.
HoZyVN only need a fuse that's a little bigger than the alt can output eg: 80 amp alt 90-100 amp fuse. I have a secondary battery in the back of my car for my audio system and I have two fuses on the cross over wire, one on each end
Just looking for different ways that people mount their battery's and I stumbled across a throwback! It's crazy to see the progression from 4 years. 👌🏽
See this is what people want to see, simple clear explanation and working with your hands. So many youtubers lose that and think people want to see over exaggerating happiness and crazy stuff and constant racing... No that gets old fast. Keep it up Jimmy! Love all your vids bro, take it sleazy and stay safe man
Great vid for a DIY. If relocation is not your thing, I recommend Braille Battery. Less than HALF the size of OEM and just as powerful. Made for racing & tight space. I ran the 17lb in my SR20 S14 and currently run the 21lb in my RB26 Z32. Amazing batteries
at least 100amp fused inline circuit breaker within 12 inches of the positive terminal and its best to use a distribution block in the engine bay instead of wiring it all together like that.
Austin Crissman find out how many amps your alternator is and use a fuse slightly larger. If your using 2guahe like him, i wouldnt ise any bigger than 200amp fuses. Fuse at front and at back.
Money Bag I most peoples left eye is that way.. Just like hands we have a dominate eye and side of the face. Fun fact: dogs actually pay attention to the right side of the face because it is more expressive (except left eye dominate people.
Haha you should have made this video a few months ago for Evan shanks, I dont know how well that plastic weld works but I would worry about moisture getting in the headlight
I have a 2010 DODGE AVENGER and I'm interested in RE LOCATING (Not Replacing) it in the trunk of the car by using the proper hardware and AWG size of cable. Why the H Dodge ever decided to install the battery in the most difficult location of the car is anyones guess. There is plenty enough room under the hood that it could have been installed during manufacturing of the car. JUST plain bad decision making on Dodges behalf!!
Don't you need make a vent for the battery... the hydrocarbons emission from the battery discharging? Use a battery that is made for interior mounting. My dodge charger battery is in the trunk, and has a vent tube from the factory.
I used that same bolt to ground my battery in my 240, did you ever run into battery drain issues, when I have it grounded where you did it drains the battery in a few days, brand new optima agm battery also.
dude, why would you run your battery cable under the car t where is exposed? I ran mine inside the car n tucked it then just stuck it through the firewall like an amp cable...
Dude..these videos on youtube ONLY say to extend the battery cables! You NEED to extend the little RED wire from the battery to the fuse box!! AND the little BLACK wire to the starter! Otherwise: 1. You cant start your car. 2. no power to fuse box/fuel injectors. etc. I'm making a video how to do it correctly now, don't worry.
so much security but still your battery end cable is naked and free to burn your car down if anything hits the batteryside while drifting and it comes lose :P
Shouldn’t u be running 2 wires from the battery to complete the charging circuit? One wire needs to come off the battery and have an inline fuse and go directly to the starter coming off the starter run another wire directly to alternator… the second wire coming from battery with a circuit breaker inline go directly to fuse box wires… if u run a single wire to battery ur charging system is getting power drawn by the fuse box engine and accessories before the battery can regulate the output
Relocating my trunk in the rear lol 35sec.
I think i will relocate my 300zx one aswell lol
now I know why some super cars have trunks in the front, its so people like jimmy can relocate them to the back.
RageAgainstTheToyMachine LMFAO
Big Letter SILVIA
Big Money Salvia
Bounced on my boy's D to this one for hours
MyName IsOllie obama turned the frogs gay AND POST
Big letter grill. It just looks newer/cleaner idk
Nathan Hostetter agreed..i personally don't like the color of the small letter.it wouldn't mesh with the look of the car that great either.
if he cleans the small letter it looks well made
100 AMP breaker required incase the cable shorts out. Especially being cable tied to the fuel and brake lines.
Went straight chisfix there my boi
hey guys jimmy oakes here
Should fuse the battery terminal so if there is a short anywhere from the motor to the trunk that blows and doesn't turn into a 20ft glowing red hot wire of fire, especially being in a drift car where anything is possible.
You need a pretty big fuse for that
HoZyVN only need a fuse that's a little bigger than the alt can output eg: 80 amp alt 90-100 amp fuse. I have a secondary battery in the back of my car for my audio system and I have two fuses on the cross over wire, one on each end
Teegan Cathcart I've heard people having problems with the fuse burning when they're starting the car
@thatsubieguy just use a circuit breaker
Way to upload EARLY in the day. Check you out being all productive!
You may want to add a inline ANL fuse at the battery in the rear, power wire under the car always sketches me out.
0:35 "relocating my trunk in the rear" 😂😂😂
Big letter !!
Just looking for different ways that people mount their battery's and I stumbled across a throwback! It's crazy to see the progression from 4 years. 👌🏽
Agreed
6 year update here 😂
Big letter Silvia for sure
Big letter grill, silvia reppin!
See this is what people want to see, simple clear explanation and working with your hands. So many youtubers lose that and think people want to see over exaggerating happiness and crazy stuff and constant racing... No that gets old fast. Keep it up Jimmy! Love all your vids bro, take it sleazy and stay safe man
Also I honestly like the old top one with the big Silvia letters, just looks way cleaner
I hope you get big man, much more helpful and a better human being than most other RUclipsrs.
Big letter Silvia
BMW battery cable from a 5 series or larger (just because of length). Preferably on 1/2 price day. I think I paid $15 for mine.
WeaselBurrito Yup... And you can still retain a place to jump from under the hood
I love Jimmy
Pick-N-pull any Charger, Magnum, or 300C they have trunk mounted battery’s. The cable is like $6.99 with all OEM fittings. Your welcome lol

Big silvia letters please
Can we get Yung tuck stickers asap
duh i would buy em
at least 100amp fused inline circuit breaker within 12 inches of the positive terminal and its best to use a distribution block in the engine bay instead of wiring it all together like that.
Small letter with this yellowish tint, oldschool japanese for the win!
What do you do with the original (-) battery cable that was hooked up to the battery when it was in the front?
Dude I’m wondering the same.does it get grounded back to the chassis?
big silvia letter one!!
Big letter grill just buff some of the yellow out.
I'm so glad you do stuff legit. Instead of just throwing self tappers in, you make it look good and even. Great content bro! Keep it up
small letter grill looks better in my opinion however i feel it woukd look even better with a clear lense not the tinted/faded one..
Did you use a breaker on the positive cable? Most people seem to do so when doing the relocation and I'm trying to figure out why.
You did that battery relocation Perfectly.. just missed one thing.It should be fused with a inline fuse about 6" from the battery.
what amp fuse is best to run for this setup?
Austin Crissman find out how many amps your alternator is and use a fuse slightly larger. If your using 2guahe like him, i wouldnt ise any bigger than 200amp fuses. Fuse at front and at back.
John Buckland thanks man!
Rare parts for the interior maybe🤔
What are the benefits to you from this?
How much diameter of the positive wire?
Do you connect the near negative wire of the engine in the car body?
Brick Headlights?! They'd suit your car
idk if its just me or not, but your left eye has gone abit wonky
Money Bag I most peoples left eye is that way.. Just like hands we have a dominate eye and side of the face. Fun fact: dogs actually pay attention to the right side of the face because it is more expressive (except left eye dominate people.
Can you do a How to on dating your mom? You won't have to call me dad. Patty Oaks is a fox!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great, useful video Jimmy - thanks
...and BIG letter Silvia - the smaller one looks yellowed to me
Haha you should have made this video a few months ago for Evan shanks, I dont know how well that plastic weld works but I would worry about moisture getting in the headlight

Man cheapest way is to find a BMW in the junk yard and strip the battery wire.
no box no vent
Don't you need make a vent for the battery... the hydrocarbons emission from the battery discharging? Use a battery that is made for interior mounting. My dodge charger battery is in the trunk, and has a vent tube from the factory.
big letter grill is more clean
Big letter
Big letter is way better
Big letter🔥
Big letter because it's looks better but I'll buy that small letter one if you don't need it!
Fuck whoever 👎🏼 Jimmy's videos! This dude seams to be the most genuine of the CT car RUclipsrs. Keep up the good shitz Jimmy!
*you sound much more professional when you dont force a laugh after every sentence jimmy. good work bro*
cody bersick it's not forced I'm just like that 😪🤦🏻♂️
Jimmy Oakes man I do the same thing, I know the feels.
Lol judging by all the comments I might be the only one here, but I really dig the smaller letter silvia grill.
I used that same bolt to ground my battery in my 240, did you ever run into battery drain issues, when I have it grounded where you did it drains the battery in a few days, brand new optima agm battery also.
dude your content is lit
Did you vent the battery??
dude, why would you run your battery cable under the car t where is exposed? I ran mine inside the car n tucked it then just stuck it through the firewall like an amp cable...
Seeing this vid for the first time since you posted it 7 years ago. So how did it hold up without a fuse? Did you eventually add one or still no fuse?
Dude..these videos on youtube ONLY say to extend the battery cables!
You NEED to extend the little RED wire from the battery to the fuse box!! AND the little BLACK wire to the starter! Otherwise: 1. You cant start your car. 2. no power to fuse box/fuel injectors. etc.
I'm making a video how to do it correctly now, don't worry.
Keep the big letter grill man it looks better and cleaner
so much security but still your battery end cable is naked and free to burn your car down if anything hits the batteryside while drifting and it comes lose :P
No hate intended but I would never run my battery cable underneath especially on a drift car. You should run a breaker or a fuse for sure
Im gonna guess he found a rear set of blitz 03's
I wouldn't ever run the wire under the car and you should have a switch somewhere in case something happens.
0:35 "I'm gonna relocate my trunk in the rear" sure Jimmy😂
ive seen a battery blow threw a plastic box because the guy was drifting and their was some extra room in the box
small letter Silvia it is a little yellowish and looks amazing... oldschool japanese
Um that's not a battery box. That's a battery hold down. And it should have been installed into a box and then vent it out a small hole.
Big letter silvia grille looks nicer !
Shouldn’t u be running 2 wires from the battery to complete the charging circuit? One wire needs to come off the battery and have an inline fuse and go directly to the starter coming off the starter run another wire directly to alternator… the second wire coming from battery with a circuit breaker inline go directly to fuse box wires… if u run a single wire to battery ur charging system is getting power drawn by the fuse box engine and accessories before the battery can regulate the output
regulating output is the alternators job
Got jumpscared by no facial hair jimmy
Thanks for the videos Jimmy ! Keep it up
Clean install jimmy :)
Big letter, if you're gonna make shirts do some in 4x
No fuse or a Circuit breaker next to the battery? To be more safer I would.
Yeah under 50 views haha
Cut those battery box bolts down so you don't have to unscrew them forever
Big letter, also less faded it seems
What about putting battery on carpet?, heard it recreates static electricity
Watching little young Jimmy in 2023
is it me.. or does jimmy look like ahser from how to get away with murder??
Do you have a link for cheap wire? I want to relocate mine but wire can be pricey
VeganDrifts go to a car wrecker and get one from a BMW battery's came stock in the trunk
You didn’t use a fuse ?
small letter grill with Silvia sign painted black
smaller letters force people to look instead of guessing :)
Big letter Silvia!
In auto advance 2gauge is 2.49 per ft
Man u kick ass i’m building a prerunner & working on a bed cage & have 0 room in the bay so this helped so much thank you!!!!!!
Also fyi a good battery relocation kit is just an E36 battry cable. I learned that from Tommy
Great vid big letter
bro add fuse to that positive and batteries need to be vented so be careful
Yew! Loving the videos boys! Keep it up.
Conventional battery like yours need ventilation, They release hydrogen gas, run an optima or similar sealed baterry.
The new s chasis is Saturn
New headlights
What if I said small Silvia lettering...
Are you ashamed to know onion? I would be.
Small letter Silvia if you can make it less yellow
Big letter for sure
Big letter Silvia just because it's clean
Brickssss
cleaned up small letter SILVIA
